A Case of Nontuberculous Mycobacterium Infection Complicated by an Esophagomediastinal Fistula in a Human Immunodeficiency Virus Patient / 대한내과학회지

ABSTRACT

An esophagomediastinal fistula is rare complication of nontuberculous mycobacterium infection. Here, we report the case of a patient with advanced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who presented with a fever, cough, and dyspnea, and was eventually diagnosed with nontuberculous mycobacterium infection. Computed tomography revealed multiple lymphadenopathy with an esophagomediastinal fistula. The patient was treated with anti-mycobacterial medications and endoscopic fistula closure.
